I wonder what it would take for amazon to show one of the yellow icons on their status page? Has it ever happened? Would a datacenter have to fall in the ocean?

It's yellow now. I'm pretty sure the datacenter is still there. I think they go yellow/red after a certain time has passed or someone manually changes it (probably rarely)

There's one there now for "Amazon Simple Storage Service (US Standard)"

Ya, it bothers me that their status messages for major outages are simply "elevated error rates".

Often times it's just that though. Just because many customers are experiencing something doesn't mean ALL customers are experiencing something. When I worked there what the media would describe as a major outage was really less than 1% of one region... this particular instance seems pretty odd though.

I'm seeing it as well - majority of connections are being dropped for us atm The Amazon S3 team recently completed some maintenance changes to Amazon S3’s DNS configuration for the US STANDARD region on July 30th, 2015. You are receiving this email because we noticed that your bucket is still receiving requests on the IP addresses which were removed from DNS rotation. These IP addresses will be disabled on August 10t…

Java by default can cache DNS forever, which may be why many people are seeing problems. Set networkaddress.cache.ttl to adjust this.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It appears EC2 is affected as well now: 12:51 AM PDT We are investigating increased error rates for the EC2 APIs and launch failures for new EC2 instances in the US-EAST-1 Region.

Probably just fallout from the fact that EBS snapshots are stored in S3. If you can't create an EBS volume, you won't be able to launch an EC2 instance from it.

It appears that s3 based AMIs totally fail to launch as unavailable as well.

GitHub is having release download issues, possibly due to this. https://status.github.com/

Mapbox and Hipchat too https://www.mapbox.com/status/ https://status.hipchat.com/

Feels like internet is not anymore distributed thing that if one website/node goes down others keep working...

Feels like in future... If cloud provider goes down... All internet will stop working :)

even ec2 is down: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (N. Virginia) Increased API Error Rates 12:51 AM PDT We are investigating increased error rates for the EC2 APIs and launch failures for new EC2 instances in the US-EAST-1 Region.

EC2 is not down.
